Officers were first called to the school on January 29 at just before 7pm. They were called again on February 1 at 8.15am after vandals left a trail of destruction over the weekend.

Phil Burton, business manager at the school, said he expects the damage to cost between £1,000 and £1,500 to repair.

He said: “At the start of the week a group of youths entered the school’s premises causing damage to a building.

“Fortunately we have CCTV cameras and this information has been passed on to the police.

“A group of between three and six vandals caused damage to plastic windows by ripping and burning them.

“We will be reviewing our security measures.”

Lutterworth Police wrote on Facebook: “Sadly it has been reported to us that on two occasions over the last few days a group of youths have climbed over the gate at Hallbrook Primary School and mindlessly caused damage to the children’s cabin and damaged items of Wi-Fi equipment.

“We are taking this very seriously as the damage is believed to be costing then school over a thousand pounds to repair or replace

“We are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the school cameras and hope to identify the offenders.”
